101+ Things to do in the Summertime by a 12 year old

I found this list of 101+ things to do this summer in my 12 year old's notebook.  (Some are repetitive of Rachel's Summer Boredom Busters that were geared to the younger years - the repeats are obviously ones that span a large age range of kids!)  What I love is that many of these are free and full of creative juices flowing all summer long.  We'll try to post some details and photos of the more unique ideas on here as we do them.  She's got some fun plans and I'm sure some of our readers would love to see them...
P.S. 46 is hilarious!
